In today’s Gospel reading we hear the account of Joseph learning that Mary was to bear a son. Because he was a righteous man, he chose to divorce her quietly rather than expose her to shame. And when an angel told Joseph what had happened, he knew his life had turned upside down. And yet, he trusted in God. Do we do the same? Is God the Lord of our lives? Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings:

Jeremiah 23:5-8
Psalm 72:1-2, 12-13, 18-19
Matthew 1:18-25
